Dear Seniors,
Kindly intimate if an employee complete 6 years and 7 months service, what is his eligibility of Gratuity? Is it 7 years to be taken for calculating Gratuity? or Is it 6.5 years for calculating Gratuity?
The confusion has come due to Para 2 (b) of Gratuity Act which define for calculating 6 months service for calculation Gratuity?
Kindly advice.
Thanks
With regards,

There is no para 2(b) pf POG Act.It is Sec 2(b). In the above case it is 7 years.Read sec 4(2) also. Varghese Mathew

You are eligible for 6 years and 7 months only for the gratuity. As per " The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972", under section 4 - Sub section ( 2 ) , For every completed year of service or part thereof in excess of Six months. since you have completed balance 6 months i.e upto to 7 months, you are eligible for 7 months. Had you completed only 6 year & 4 months, then you would have been eligible for only 6 years.

sorry, previously I had told that you are eligible only for 6 years and 7 months but later after undergoing the depth meaning of Section 4 (2 ),
you are eligible for 7 year gratuity. 6 month and above even 1 day extra after six months, you are eligible for 1 year gratuity.

Dear Sir,
Your reply made clear on calculation of 6 month period of service. Now I understood that the 240 days will count only for eligibility of Gratuity (completion of five years). In all other cases if he has completed 6 months as per Sec 2(b) the Gratuity will be counted for another one year.
Thank you for your good advice.

Dear Mohan Kumar,
After 5 years of completion of service, the outgoing member will become eligible for remmittence of gratuity. And beyond 5 years if extended period is more than six month shall be read as one year more. In your case it will be 7 years eligibility.
Hope it is cristal clear.
